Workout Adherence:  better than last week but still not what i was at

I am back! 3 lbs lost in 1 week again! I am so excited! I know I can do better but even with my set backs I am proud of how I am doing and have HitchFit to thank for it! I am also doing a program for the cardio part of my program called C25K (couch to 5K.)  I hit 2 miles per run this week!

I am also down 3 inches in my waist and 1.5 inches in my hips.

Week 4-Down 2 lbs

Last weeks weight: 173
This weeks weight: 171
Beginning body fat: 27.5%

Nutrition adherence: Good.  Did cheat a little for Valentine's day.

Workout adherence: weight lifting Mon & Wed & Friday and cardio the other days. Worked out everyday.

I think my calculations at the beginning were off.  I can't imagine I gained 3% body fat.  I am sorry it was so off.  I did those measurements on vacation and apparently weren't as accurate as I thought.

Week 3 - 1lb lost

Last weeks weight: 174
This weeks weight: 173
Beginning body fat: 24%

Nutrition adherence: This weekend was my birthday. I tried to be good, but it was difficult. I gained this week but lost it again now that I am back on track.

Workout adherence: weight lifting Mon & Wed and cardio the other days. Thurs I didn't work out.

Week 2 Only 3 lbs lost :(

Last weeks weight: 177
This weeks weight: 174
Beginning body fat: 24%

Nutrition adherence: Not so good the last couple of days and it show! Started a new job and am trying to figure out how to incorporate the eating schdeule. I didn't necessarily eat bad (except for 1 day) but skipped meals.

Workout adherence: weight lifting Mon & Wed and cardio the other days. Thurs and Sat there was no workout.

Week 1-Down 7 lbs!!

Last weeks weight: 184

This weeks weight: 177

Beginning body fat: 24%

Nutrition adherence: Very well! I am not even missing the bad stuff!  I did sneak a bite of my husband's carb a couple of times at dinner.

Workout adherence: weight lifting MWF and cardio the other days. Thurs there was no workout and Sunday wasn't as long as it should've been.

Day 1

Weight lifting day. I hate weights. Did most of the exercises as max suggest weights.  Not too bad. By the time I finished that exercise, my muscles couldn't lift the weight again; but by the time I left they gym, I didn't feel exhausted like they said I should be. Friday I will try to do ALL.

Tomorrow is cardio. I love running.  I can't wait! (No pun intended!)

Plan

Starting Measurements:

Weight: 184 lbs

Hip Measurement (measure around the largest area): 45 in

Waist Measurement (measure around the largest area): 41 in

Body Fat Percentage: 24%

I can't believe I let myself get this bad. I wish I could blame pregnancy, the kids, and Joe, but I really can't. But now I am doing something about it!  This should take 16 weeks.
Plan:
1100-1300 Calories a day
5 small meals
3 days of weight lifting
4 days of cardio

Joining Hitch Fit

So my friend just finished her 16 week training program with Hitch Fit and looks amazing!  She has inspired me to try it.  I ordered it today, have to send in a questionnaire and by the time I get back from my cruise I will have a customized nutrition and work out plan.  Even though I check in with Micah and Dana every week, I started this blog so you can keep me accountable and so I have a place to document my transformation and thoughts.  I will post before pictures soon. In 16 weeks I should be one hot momma!
